CPG Branding and Social Campaign That Resonates

Snow Pops: Branding and Social Campaign

How can a brand connect with millennial women? Start with humor.

Simple black outline of human head profile with a square, triangle and circle floating inside Rooted in humor and authenticity, we crafted a robust brand persona for Snow Pops. The brand came to life through bold CPG designs and eccentric Instagrams posts that were tailored to appeal to our target audience: millennial women.

THE CHALLENGE


Snow Pops, a brand specializing in ready-to-freeze cocktails, lacked brand awareness in the increasingly crowded alcoholic beverage market. We needed Snow Pops to stand out in the right way to the right audience: millennial women.

 

THE HUMAN INSIGHT


Humor and social identity are inherently intertwined, which means what we find funny plays a role in how we define ourselves and connect with others.

For millennial women, this couldn’t be more true. They revel in the “Barbie” movie’s relatable comedic dialogue, connect over “girl math” on social channels and look forward to the funny details of a Sunday morning debrief.

THE IDEA


The more human a brand can be on social media, the more brand loyalty it can garner. So we gave Snow Pops a unique personality as we wanted our content to feel like it was coming more from a person rather than a brand. Instead of social posts being riddled with “Buy Now” messaging, we tapped into humor and pop culture and shared experiences that were relevant to the millennial audience.

“Our brand got just the tone we were hoping for, and the social strategy was focused and effective. It breathed new life into our brand and made it resonate more with our customers.”
